Okay so I might have had one of those fucked up days at work. I recently joined a new organisation and was liking my work, leading my project along with one more and we think we were doing pretty fine when my manager told that the lead has been changed. So, for someone like who has been working their ass off on something, listening to this is the worst things of all, I can tell you for sure!
Now the kind of over thinker that I am I have been repeating, re-repeating those conversations, making plans, saying all those fancy dialogues, even called up my ex! kinda ex! kinda whatever, I don’t even know that! So, yeah! And after I think around 4 hours of speaking to myself, being angry, thinking this and that, I realised the reason that happened was because I got pushed into the irrelevant.
So, my end goal was this project, but I was trying to help other projects with their issues, with their queries, with this and that, because that was helping me with my ego may be! and obviously I had limited amount of time and so there was a delay on the thing that I was assigned to. and the moment this struck me, I felt may be I do this most of the times, I mean not just me may be even you.
We get so involved in the irrelevant that we forget about the main goal and we often then take more time to reach the end goal. Sometimes if we wander way too much, we even let loose of the end goal as well!
sometimes this happens with life as well I mean I can’t even explain more but you know right, like, you go ahead and plan to get into IITS and then you make some friends make some girl friends or boy friends and then get so involved in the irrelevant that that the relevant, the most important thing loses its track!
Keeping an eye, making sure that we do not drift away that is so important, so relevant, so, oh! god! that is the basic of life. You need to stay relevant, you need to ensure that you do not get muddled up in the irrelevancy of things and you keep your focus on your goal. And those goals may change or you may get one goal of your life, but whatever be the case, you got to stay focused and let not the irrelevant to consume your life.
This has been the biggest lesson, not sure if I can hold it, but I would want to, so yeah in all the aspects of life, try to and work hard to ensure that the most important thing is your focus and even if you do end up giving some time on the irrelevant it does in no ways hamper the most important thing for you.
Life is beautiful na, it teaches you so many things and often when you put your best in life, or try to give your best, try to achieve excellence is when life starts teaching you things. I think may be this is what life is, pursuit of excellence and in this pursuit the lessons learnt, the experiences lived and the person you became, become the part of your life, part of your story!
